My thoughts and prayers go out to Bob and his family. Bob was a great guy who know was a great asset to Red Top, Falmouth B&T and all that knew him. I left about a half hour before all this happened. Leaving behind some friends in that surf. When I got the call neither of the two had yet been rescued. I now where to people were and tried calling my other to buddies to see if they were alright. After not getting a hold of them, I jumped back in my car and headed back down looking for there vehicles. It was a relief to not see there cars, but seeing gregs and bobs put a huge lump in my throat and those I was keeping close phone contact with. I have to say, this is something that will haunt me for a long time. I can only imagine what those that were there must be going thru. This is sad for all of us and its not about if you knew Bob or not, but about remembering one of our own. The ocean is unforgiving is what my dad always told me. So be careful out there. This is something that could happen to anyone of us. It was a nasty night to be out and that surf was angry, but no fish is worth a life.
A couple days after I had a dream that I was walking the beach and as I came to a sand bar there was a guy sitting down at the base of it and another guy out on it. I asked the guy sitting down if they were getting any fish as I turned on my light. That's when I saw it was Bob. I asked what had happened and he replied.....I slipped, I just slipped Roy and then told me they were killing them as he pointed out to the guy on the bar. That's when I turned out to see Steve standing there with a nice fish. In my dream I then told them I wouldn't crowd them and let them have this spot to there own tonight, and it was great to see them again. I then woke up and realized this was my last good bye to two great fisherman.
